Heritage. by Apolo Torres. Inspired by life in New York and Sγo Paulo, Brazil, Apolo Torres portrays, as common ground between these two cities, a bicycle and a vivacity of music. Torres' bicycle questions the chaos of mobility in the metropolis and reminds us of the complex and vital issue of Earth's environment. The music piece pays tribute to American Jazz and the Brazilian Samba, both created by African descendants with the influence of European instruments and harmonies, brining a sensitive approach to European rule and colonization in both continents. Torres is the Selected Artist of 2019 Brasil Summerfest, and sponsored by Delta Air Lines and Gol.
